Description

This was my second attempt of the Horsehead and flame nebula. pretty happy with the outcome but the use of a field flatter could help this image, along with more data.

Known as Barnard 33 (Horsehead) and NGC 2024 (Flame nebula).
Is a combination of a small dark nebula and emission nebula in the Orion constellation about 900-1,500 light years away. Mostly complied of hydrogen alpha. The horse head appears due to the thick dust that covers that area.
